(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Madonna has joked that she hopes Elton John will speak to her after she beat him to a Golden Globe award.

The superstar scooped the trophy from the iconic singer in the Best Original Song category with the song Masterpiece from her new movie W.E.

Elton was nominated for his Lady Gaga collaboration Hello Hello from animated film Gnomeo and Juliet.

"Oh I hope he speaks to me for the next couple of years. He's known to get mad at me," Madonna told the BBC after the ceremony. "I don't know, he's brilliant and I adore him. He'll win another award and I don't feel bad."

Before the Golden Globes kicked off in Beverly Hills last night, a confident Elton announced on the red carpet that Madonna stood "no f***ing chance" of winning the accolade.

The 64-year-old was filmed looking stony-faced when Madonna accepted the award.

With W.E. being only her second directing project, the singer-turned-filmmaker seemed stunned herself at receiving a gong.

"This is a surprise," she said in her thank-you speech. "Thank you very much to the Hollywood Foreign Press for this acknowledgement." (C) Cover Media
